Hi Judy
I saw this on the SRGC a week ago.
Seems we, humans are playing a role in "Natural Selection".
I wonder if you can call this evolution driven by the ability of the human eye to discern colors from a distance.

An interesting article in today's NY Times about color variation in
Fritillaria delavayi
which presumably arose because it is collected for traditional medicine.
The yellow flowered ones are easy to notice and collect, those with dull
colored flowers are less conspicuous.
Judy in New Jersey where winter temperatures have decided that it is
time for them. And snow flurries forecast for tomorrow morning.
